It was nearly 3 months ago now when I was visiting another local community house here in Knox, when I was offered to apply for the immerse exhibition. This is part of my aspirations for my students and myself to have a public exhibit. So, I applied for myself and 13 of my participants who have completed Digital Photography Part 1 & 2, and Photoshop Basics Part 1 Short Courses.
My vision was clear, in terms of a theme. ‘Black & White World of Perceptions’ So I went ahead and applied … my belief in myself and my students capabilities, held true to what we have manifested over the past couple of months.
I am so proud as I have organized the entire group over the past couple of months. Decisions had to be made, photos had to be chosen, I had to decide on the medium to use, pretty much I have been immersed with this entire project, as I worked along side curator Gabriella Calandro and Jo Herbig Community Arts Officer for Knox City Council.
A huge shout out for making this all possible. Being the first of its kind, already a success.
What a fantastic opportunity. I have led the way with the support of the Basin Community House to complete this project.
I am thrilled beyond words and this is one of the most proudest moments to date.

Here is my artwork, titled ‘Dreams’
Artist: Bron Anderson
My communication with this image represents the sacred feminine, the unconscious reality that exists. Intuition, the silvery moon vibrations of emotion. Listening. The Empress.
A concept I have been working on, and now it is on show!
